Osun State leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the party has not taken any decision on the zoning of the governorship slot for the 2026 staggered election.
The party said in a statement by its Media and Information Director, Kola Olabisi, that no position had been taken on the zoning of the 2026 ticket.
A story credited to a chieftain of the party, who is a former commissioner for Information and Strategy, Sunday Akere, a few days ago, as published in some traditional and social media, said the party had zoned its 2026 governorship slot to Osun West Senatorial District.
Osun APC said the story did not represent the position of the party and should be disregarded, as it was a mere opinion of the party chieftain.
The party said the decision on where its next governorship candidate would come from would be made public to all stakeholders of the party.
It said without necessarily casting aspersion on the former Special Adviser to ex-Governor Gboyega Oyetola on Political and Intergovernmental Affairs, on the development, ‘’our members should disregard the statement, as it is his opinion.’’
‘’It is needless for members and supporters of our party to have sleepless nights on the issue, as it remains a yet-to-be treated programme, which process will be as transparent as ever when the time for it arises.
‘’We commend the spirit of our numerous members and supporters, who have been calling ceaselessly through telephone and physically in order to know the true position of the party on the issue.
‘’Let’s continue to work ceaselessly and assiduously for the progress and eventual victory of our party at the polls in 2026, in the overall interest of the people of the state.
‘’When it is time, the state executive officers of our party led by Sooko Tajudeen Lawal, will not be found wanting in addressing the press to the effect for all and sundry to be in the know of the crucial development,’’ Osun APC said.
